Technology Showcase | Presented by Filipe Brandão and Robert Fourer

Python’s vast ecosystem excels in data pre-processing and visualization, but its general-purpose design can limit its effectiveness for complex optimization problems. AMPL, a declarative language, complements Python by simplifying problem expression and enhancing integration.

This presentation explores how AMPL and Python together streamline optimization: from installing AMPL as a Python package, to efficient data handling, to cloud deployment, and leveraging generative AI for rapid application development.
